Haha that's sorta funny. Sorry

I'm sure someone will have a spare one.

Just post it in the "Wanted to Buy" section - that should raise your chance of success

can anyone explain how i can fix this? when i try to open the cover, it unlocks, but doesnt pop out, and i cant open it. its like its locked again. how can i make it normal again? its annoying trying to open it for 5min at the station while there are people waiting...

Post by **dstocks** » Wed May 27, 2009 9:52 pm

if i grab that off you, do you rekon i could strip of the paint, prime it, paint it and add a few coats of gloss on it? rekon it would be a close match with black? coz iam seriously considering doing that and iam dreading the next time i fill up because ive put it in place , but once it comes out, its gonna be a hassle and a half to put it back in place!
